A F N 180 E

[carl]

What am I doing right? I recently purchased a V7 and blind scanned 180 E and the PowerVu A F N suite came in without adding any keys. Are they in a "fixed key" mode?

normally, Powervu key add both new firmware or sometime you need add key code by yourself.

Carl I have sent you a PM

Thanks, Owen. I've tweaked the audio too. I find the manual not too much help for my V7 combo but I have a Geosat MicroHD so I know how to navigate the menus, etc. I updated with North American satellite file and lost Intelsat 18 but no problem to add it back and rescan although one channel was blank. I deleted the transponder and scanned again and it came back.

Is anyone else having a problem receiving A F N at 3753R? It went out a few days ago and my quality number jumps around and is low. A scan of the transponder didn't help. I do receive A+ on 4070R and the 3 channels of A F N on 4174L with no problems and the same quality numbers as before just 3753 went wonky.

I'm still getting a good signal here on a 2.1m dish, even after the turkeys have jumped on it.
I don't get A+. I did once when I think they were re positioning the sat.

I have also found a ku signal on Intelsat 18ku@180e, 12628 H 29797 with no channels to scan.

Thanks for checking, Owen. Don't know why it is only this one transponder but we had some heavy winds a few days ago so I may have to see if I can peak the dish. I only have C Band on this dish since it looks like the Ku footprint covers your part of the world and not the U.S. (Also have a second LNBF on it pointing at 177w for MTN but it looks like we may not get that back again.) I have a friend who lives about 40 miles away and he had trouble with A+ for about a year but finally got it back. He thought there may have been some sort of interference. I had to record a couple things he wanted to see. I just uploaded the files to Google Drive and he downloaded and watched,
